Morning came far too early for Louise. Her body attempted to yawn but instead she got a headache and cough instead.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAiHKNOitk
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnhsu4Rh9B
Louise: ‘What…happened? Why do I feel so…empty.’
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVmfaMvkyw
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0kROIT5HJ
Looking for some answers, Louise forced her eyes open and scanned around her room. The room was dark, only lit by a sliver of sunlight passing through the small gap between the curtains.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQWj8RjtRs
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fAfyT0CdR
Despite that, Louise can feel it. There is someone else in the room. Louise turns her head to the sensation and sees a beautiful woman in a maid’s uniform.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQ4jytzxNW
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVv93krILrz
Many thoughts rushed through her mind. Like why is there a maid sleeping in her room? But the answer came when she noticed the woman’s fiery red hair.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GyVAIfWW7
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuW2f1Magq1
All at once, the events of yesterday flooded into her mind. She gripped her head in a vice grip as the memories resurfaced. She bites her lip to prevent any screaming.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEIdHvuJcT
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfonZgIO3hX
She won’t be found lacking in front of her familiar, even if she is asleep.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgiWQpRU9K
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdBUMg3qCv
Louise: ‘Wait…familiar…’
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVbCGsQF2J
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrRfxdu1DV
The thought of summoning not one but seven familiars eases her headache and feeling of emptiness.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Dut0mADmA
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7aMcIIAS3
Louise: ‘I did it! But no, I didn’t finish the bonding ritual. I need to finish it otherwise it won’t count!’
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZQZOMZipW
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSX1t3WImFE
Louise felt the need to kick her familiar awake and get to business. But that emptiness returned once again. She just didn’t have that much energy right now.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYloguLhC4X
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4mtklzvPV
Louise: ‘Is it because of that fake me I saw? Did she do something to me?! When I get my hands on her…’
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9KfIsUr1f
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywyvpxEhRp
Shaking her head, she returned to the main issue. She forced her body to move to the curtains. She pulled them apart and gathered her strength for a command.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UtrXKIhEB
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOOFxDidTN
Louise: “Rise and shine, familiar! You have a job to do!”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBevGPXHac
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nJha1JqRA
Her familiar tossed and turned on the hay before opening her eyes.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKIcmeAf4T
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhUDt2vIeo
Flamma: “Morning already. Shame, I was having the best dream.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfECNWHEpi
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIWhwFTCRr
She said weakly before recognizing the voice that spoke.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcZRBEGSbS
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXOic85ape
Flamma: “Louise! Are you alright?!”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIP9wdt37dI
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EwrpMXSCu
Flamma quickly got up and rushed to Louise’s side.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpXiMoM2iS
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAfppvMkSd
Louise: “Of course, it will take more than whatever that faker did to slow me down.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZk7o3zLL2o
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkg5jkKBUC
She says while using all of her strength to just stand up.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkeONowxum
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ti3MoGHVk
Flamma: “Are you sure?”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0YjqJxL16
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfrAuEXExX
Louise: “Yes! Now, we need to finish the bonding spell so can really become my familiar.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqmFGINkUg
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4z6zYmbdCZ
Flamma: “Well, if you have the strength.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKExkrgwi6
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpt4BxPqzWo
Louise: “Good, now bring me my wand so we can do this.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRobtVc0MEv
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uSxZRqVUV
Flamma quickly retrieved her wand and gave it to Louise.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBgpw44DKB
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQDHYbKwXm
Louise: “Kneel.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnTDv0YBuu
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsb3Yfb0Gd
Flamma: “Excuse me?”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKd37N9SX8
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgo5povR0ek
Louise: “Kneel so I can complete the spell!”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnLe9kSvBk
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuhW0re7At
Flamma took a few moments before doing as Louise commanded. Louise then placed her wand on Flamma’s forehead before chanting.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcftt3hcjpA
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnuxP8alYh
Louise: “My name is Louise Francoise le Blanc de la Valliere, Pentagon of the Five Elemental Powers. Bless this humble being, and make her my familiar.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGqnMepbdB
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTkrxUuAqW
After chanting, she removed her wand from Flamma’s forehead and kneltdown in front of her. Both of her hands moved to touch her familiar's rounded face.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qEnAmjtsE
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUB0vHuw1el
Louise would’ve blushed and wished her first kiss was with Wardes. But right now, she just wanted to get this over with. As for Flamma…
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TGBdubk6T
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfkGV6fpnB
Flamma: ‘Okay, why is she leaning in for a kiss? Is this how familiar bindings work? I mean, this isn’t my first time kissing a girl. Maybe it’s Louise’s first time?”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtC9iuj75Jh
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqV83EgvZV
She wondered with amusement as Louise's plush lips made contact with her own.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEx7uMyCsNv
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAncdWwDzI5
Flamma: ‘Yup, it’s her first time. Makes me wonder if Dovah ever kissed a girl. Or would be willing to…’
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGc4XVVpoiw
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSV6nnEwN4j
Louise pulled away with a slight blush before Flamma made her thoughts known.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yB5y7CrKQ
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDt3lGEOud
Flamma: “First kiss?”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt21NhL3l5O
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEjy1ZTCpf
Louise: “S-Shut up, familiar!”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6nwMm574T
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7og7OpDjF
Flamma: “I have a name Louise. It’s Aeterna Flamma.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYfQoCeQUw
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Uj87udAT6
Louise: “Whatever, now we have to brand the rest of those disobedient famili-”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPia9RuGp1H
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvMxfiRxIW
Before she could finish, her strength finally gave out and she began to free fall toward the floor. But before she can hit it, Flamma catches her.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7L2FwzjYzR
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuICfK3jCGn
Flamma: “I don’t think you have the strength to brand anyone. And what do you mean by brand anyway?”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HSf13fFu2
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0POdW6vLcv
Pain.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJP3YK8g5r
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQo6yhDWgqM
That was what Flamma felt flaring from the back of her left hand and lancing all the way up to her elbow. Flamma almost screamed in pain as the stinging sensation throbbed violently on her hand.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ycUujeeQS
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DOt5fgLXE
She might have dropped Louise if the pain didn’t stop all of a sudden. She inhaled and exhaled sharply before carrying Louise to her bed.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xkzJhg6rn
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCOzM4NxUH
Flamma: ‘Damn, should getting a familiar binding rune really hurt that much?!’
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZABWReLmnm
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnqurLpFGA
Louise: “Let me…go.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZECJxi56C
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7RqZ2BYGF
Flamma: “No can do. You are clearly too weak to-”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm6e6CgdHb
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUf7YR9Jgt
Louise: “I’m NOT weak!”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWvrfRJGvQ
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvsn0Klqh3
Flamma: “Louise, you could barely stand.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Kma8w8y6m
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡme6LwkrWUg
Louise: “I just need a moment, that’s all.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UaFjXJbK9
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3C8V99lyq
Flamma: “Well, you can have that moment on the bed.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DFo1kG1VQ
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj91xA2Aozy
She says as she deposits Louise onto the bed.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWloTMbzxZn
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfEJ93vYBs
Flamma: “I’ll stay with you until you can stand again.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1v4B4cwhl
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FgiIEOcSa
Louise: “As you should. A familiar should protect their master.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5h9yJOzhAP
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX81NrFqkqi
Silences descends into he room as Flamma sat down on the hay pile. For 5 minutes, it seemed like they would spend all day in the quiet. That’s until Louise broke the silence.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANdTJGe3nd
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnknge1qHMG
Louise: “Tell me…what happened while I was out.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVoZBsWaX2
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPLtrbUmXD
Flamma smiled before replying.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcW3bgQxbQg
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsC0K7OAWv
Flamma: “Well, I have a story for you.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdiALkP10A
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYajdCvEHW
Colbert: “Is he any better?”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6YTSnoELF
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaldEWBrqWy
Colbert is once again outside the nurse’s office, checking in on the boy. He also checked on Louise 2 but there was little he could do in that situation. At least until Louise’s family arrived. Will the headaches ever cease?
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3TVkYB5P9
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3oRnwFFV7
“Better we think.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8TXo8kLt4
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBwSwy48e9
Colbert: “Think?”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZfZw1QE1v
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPd7h27k0L
“Well, the boy has what looks like a weak heart, low muscle strength all over his body and damaged lungs. In all sense, he is beyond our abilities to heal. But…”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡConkbfIf2U
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNFRxAto1M
Colbert: “But what?”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzx6JtQwQd
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1XyXC7bJ7
“The steel plating covering his body is somehow holding him stable, even aiding him. I do not know what it is or how it works. But it seemed to have healed him over the night. We’re afraid of removing it because doing so may just kill him.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pzknMEI3M
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91uaUp1jHe
Colbert: “That was a smart decision. He seems to be like Louise 2, beyond what we can understand. Maybe I can ask Bench to-”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhO7gzbbYgp
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbkC8MEMDt
Before he could finish that thought, a nurse opened the door in a panic.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4PdxCVg63
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeljvUKVTMI
“He’s awake, and having trouble breathing! He says to get his bag!”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXQYy1Xu3E
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoMuRPhcU8
Colbert: “Where’s his bag!”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOs4s2Ob4c4
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADzXaKB6qY
The 3 rushed inside, disparately looking for his bag. Colbert quickly found it under one of the beds. Someone must have placed it there to make room for a student who got hurt doing something stupid.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0n14De049I
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtUiijuO1m
When Colbert rushed to give the bag to the boy, he desperately pointed to the bag.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhitJ3F5Nv1
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Xh2BadMzi
Colbert: “What? What should I do?”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOn41fE35X
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqKdszgE5Y
The boy pointed at the metal tab at the bottom of the line of teeth. Colbert observed it and tried pulling the tab. It opened the bag and revealed another steel plate, like the ones on the boy.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMIASKY67I
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qwUU7veT9
Colbert didn’t understand how it all worked, but he could tell the boy needed this steel plate. He removed it and handed it to the boy.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixFvQTvhTW
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8zYu7NAUF
The boy hurriedly ejected the steel plate glowing red instead of green before carefully inserting its replacement. Once it was in, it glowed green and he took a very large gasp of air. He did this a few more times before lying down, coughing and gasping as he did.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMklkOMBEPg
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWirB2rdqCX
After a minute of breathing, he sat himself up.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8r73QrthBU
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIK0f8T9NUI
Colbert: “Are you alright?”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeW7EVqpS1
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JU3Qh5VfW
No reply. Instead, he looked around until his eyes landed on his earmuffs and glasses. He pointed to them. Colbert understood and gave him what he needed.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSSmOShujI
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlbrP6qBjT
The boy put the accessories on before tapping the earmuffs a few times. A small stick with a bulge at the end appeared out of his earmuffs. He then bent it in front of his mouth.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtM9JL2W41b

“Yeah, for now.”

Tech: “Name’s Tech, now my turn. Where am I?”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ciO4us6md
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfO3LcHOGUV
Colbert: “In the country of Tristan, and you’re in the nurse’s office of the Tristan Magic Academy. I’m one of the teachers.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYM8s7VuFq9
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHdnMOlkod
Tech looked at Colbert like he was crazy.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefrP8Gs2jA
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtlDcYSiHg
Tech: “Magic? Puh-leez, no such thing.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTga9lm8hQ
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4o5kss0CjG
He said as if that was a universally understood fact. Colbert, to prove magic does exist, created fire from nothing. Tech was not impressed.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREqizXKGoP
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6FzwPFDbd
Tech: “For all I know you’re using a holoprojector. Try doing something more impossible.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡca3BqiSOH5
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobWBx9vNP4
Colbert tried levitation.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkiN0v8ttw
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqil4j7mcP
Tech: “Anti-gravity disks or even strings and wires.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcSHm7DC7l
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyayg7bfbR
Colbert tried many other things but nothing managed to convince Tech. Even mentioning Dragon transformations didn’t get him to budge. Maybe raise an eyebrow but nothing else.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgHNesPoCL
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRKg1CecjY
Tech: “Okay, enough fake and tell. How did I get here?”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iEEt2hxWa
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JY6wiIkiG
Colbert: “You were summoned by Louise as her familiar. One of seven, something that has never happened before.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3BDuCrIY4
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SNhJr6hmL
Tech: “Summoned? Can you send me back?”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiQl2LSrFx
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFRNthnoZx
Colbert: “I’m afraid not. But one of your fellow familiars did say she might be able to. You just have to learn her magic or wait until she finds where you came from.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0req8kN55c
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxmg8y9Knm
Tech: “Great, another loony. Where is she?”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYi9oSPwNH
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeM6ow4Mgw
Colbert: “We’re not sure. She used a portal to go back to her own world.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTzqzChZG3
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGdfAxRIf0
Tech: “Damn it! For all I know, she might have tricked you all! She’s probably not coming back. Alright, one thing at a time. Why did you summon me?”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fo4d3Gd2U
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHOFlVhJZU
Colbert then proceeded to explain to him the familiar system.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXsr6qmXbM
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabSP46KT5V
Tech: “Hell no! I’m not being anyone’s slave. The one chick that agreed must have been desperate or stupid.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90aSIRXhJv
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpiXa0wAnm

288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzf39yJAYNL
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIPcS9Kk4J
Tech: “I won’t lie, the story about this Ravager does interest me. But I won’t let anyone I don’t know help me with my repairs.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVNtosTO1Y
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSsREP59JT
Colbert: “Understandable.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcoVTth8rM

Colbert: “Alright, let’s give him some space everyone.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPWGmrJdxp

Colbert and all non-essential workers left Tech to his business.

Dovahkiin blinked blearily after being shaken by a gentle but firm hand. Dovahkiin fully opened her eyes to see the sun through the clouds.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPuOkroRcq
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRUWmA0kFe
Dovahkiin: ‘Morning already. Or is it afternoon?’
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgFW17BzRE
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCI9YT2EULz
Looking over at who woke her up, she is greeted by a black-haired girl in a maid’s uniform. The harried look on her face surprised Dovahkiin, then she finally registered what the man said.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJARNKsCjw
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnr9iPBc7r
Dovahkiin: ‘I guess the disguise worked.’
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJENzi818j

288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnl75d9GpYc
The girl pulled Dovah up by her arms and darted out of the hall. When they made it into the kitchen, she was surprised by all of the activity. Servants were carrying large baskets of what looked like cherries to cauldrons that were suspended over the fire. The head chef was standing next to them, adding sugar. Glancing up at the two new arrivals he immediately pointed to the table.

288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkG5lPWeV0N
Siesta: “Lay out the rolls of dough so I can get them flattened out.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEJuYoGbFL
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiFmlAbjzf
Dove: “Got it.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchOJwFtmvR
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWwPZnbilJ
Dove got to work alongside Siesta and even got into a comfortable rhythm. That gave Dove a chance to ask a question.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRwgNZDEqI
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkz67vVGoi
Dove: “Hey Siesta?”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZ5BR82hdr
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4FAWU6a9X
Siesta: “Yes?”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4I0zAasaky
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoBohaJfnB
Dove: “Is the academy hiring anyone? Maybe an assistant Chef?”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnoUpCwPh3
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5uJse8RtJ
Siesta: “I heard that the headmaster was asking the Chef to find someone who could help him. He wanted to appoint someone as the assistant Chef but Martone said that he didn’t want just anyone poking around his kitchen. Why do you ask? Do you know anyone who needs a job?”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzrzMKwjkv
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JxZTXi9dg
Dove: “Yes, me.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oAXNFAoh7
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeER5S7Sr3
Siesta blinked and looked up at Dove.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVd3bjL47ox
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBW5t4ut7l
Siesta: “What do you mean? You’re already a maid.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjTSauwqnf
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjyQ15RNKk
Dove: “Well actually…I’m a traveler and needed a place to sleep and some new clothes. I kind of snuck into the hall after…temporarily borrowing the outfit from a chest I found. The rest you know.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jSip8HdKk
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7KgczwdBr
Siesta hadn’t moved since the admission, frozen in surprise. Dove moved to the left, Siesta didn’t respond. She moved to the right, no response.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKozjg3qO1l
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxUbIW1eVj
Dove: “Was what I said wrong? S-Should I leave?”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRY0HuoSU1d
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zdv7Kkx81
Siesta finally blinked and shook her head.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6p38wfnTN
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGY3OPCfTB
Siesta: “No no, you just caught me off guard. I thought that you were a maid and I was embarrassed that I forced you here.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQghbxhh9U
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUq6uzneRI
Dove smiled gently before giving a reply.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4VlahEcsA
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdIHm7Q8CN
Dove: “So, do you think I could get the job if I ask for it?”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLLocOKQJw
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zkxAHgdHX
Siesta: “Yes, I think that you could get the job.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSje8Bs9naI
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2KDITUtn6
Dove: “So when do you think I should ask? Obviously, I should wait for this to be over but do you think I should wait a little while or-?”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMKES6OTX7
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgla0PwxQt0
Siesta: “You should ask right afterwards, while the rest of us are delivering the pies. You should have time then.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyDLASNFs7
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqqqUIcm19
Dove: “Got it.”

Flamma: “Well, who do we have here?”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4fQyJodG1
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OgCSIPNSK
From behind the two came Flamma, standing out easily with her red hair and unbeatable curves.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWA8cECYBwH
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VroXIsMSo
Siesta: “Hello Miss Flamma.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sn4MInxUE
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vdYqATxeq
Flamma: “Please, no miss Siesta. Thanks again for helping me bring food to Louise’s room.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPSF5X1Lx4
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpDaMQQawS
Siesta: “It was no problem. I hope she gets better.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHIPnDUXCN
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pe9CPirTj
Flamma: “As do I. Now, who is this lovely lady.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsFo9gDPpq
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXhR4JrbGo
Siesta: “This is Dove, soon-to-be assistant Chef.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6B0Io4EN6

Flamma: “Oh really?”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY37YqG3bvr

She says with a smirk.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMYfwhymji
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwYqeBvz5o
Flamma: “Mind if I borrow her for a moment Siesta? I would like to get to know my future co-worker.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTaoyceXaQ

Siesta: “Don’t be too long.”

Flamma: “I won’t.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJhbfkvFSe
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVb9tnecxU
Before Dove could protest, Flamma grabbed her arm and dragged her to someplace more secluded.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlV9IW2u8v
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3u40z9vwax
Once there, Flamma whispered into Dove’s ear.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAhU5GLy1A
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTN4EigWoI
Flamma: “Dove is it? Should I take you adopting the pet name I gave you as a sign you play for the other team?”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKXkfOzOyB
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKWDGXz5QH
Dove: “No, you should not take that as a sign. It was a good name so I used it. That’s all.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmzfrVO2BH
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjfph1pOwn
Flamma: “So you say.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0Z9zPNSga
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZOvgLarUN
Dove: “Anyway, why are you here anyway? Shouldn’t you be working someplace else?”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdflQm23tRb
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0MZre9A5Z
Flamma: “I’m a maid to remember? Also, I’m a great cook. So why not help out when needed? Face it Dove, you’ll have to get used to working with me.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡON6oAciPU8
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3ShFGCYeh
Dove: “As long as you don’t flirt with me while working.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBVoIscOB3

Flamma: “Off the job is fine then?”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlG8MjIuCl3
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xAYtFJibM
Dove sighed before trying to redirect the conversation to someone else.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffefhFMVch
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOfxw1PDUi
Dove: “I thought you were pairing me with Zander?”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBYn5qhhZI
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZ9G3aCdRf
Flamma: “That was before a certain ebony beauty got the hots for him.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJkOxFSBXT
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQvcxEXoBy
Dove: “…What?”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgU7aRGL0H
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPek7EENa9p
The morning was good for Zander. After a restful sleep under the stars, nothing can bring him down. When the sun came up and he awoke to a new day, he had a good feeling.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjgVQdKRYO
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCq613UJVk
He spent most of the morning just relaxing and enjoying the scenery. Even the students gathering around and having fun was enjoyable. Sure, he kept an eye on Jake who he could sense in the nearby tree. He just sat up there practically motionless. Even he can admit to being a bit freaked out by his behavior.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXm5du2sPVG
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjdbr1ACTR
Zander: ‘Based on what Dovahkiin told me after I brought her food, he’s probably waiting for that girl from before to come back. I have to admit, her portal ability is greater than mine. I can only go back to my own realm, not find and transport to others.’
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiT9jlLOmb3
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUg8PT7koJ
Aside from moments like that, all was well in the world. That was until a tall and seductive ebony woman approached.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclPWCDTYC4
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRe7QJ7pU2
Zander: ‘Oh, here we go again.’
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJrTevlzoI

Kirche: “Good afternoon.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheZUXPsZmw
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7O3NiAWrF0
Zander: “Hello, good afternoon. Is there something you need?”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDAkdt9NtU
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvdMoVQpHc
Kirche: “I can think of a few things. But first, introductions are in order. My name is Kirche Augusta Frederica von Anhalt Zerbst. The quiet girl behind me is Tabitha. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUM8F1OwrR
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxduTn62DmW
Zander looked behind Kirche and noticed the blue-haired girl reading a book while holding a staff larger than her small frame.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxox9x1UmCJ
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2q9t3aVybz
Zander: “I am Zander. Likewise.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Yb7YLYLqO
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zdYkXbO0k
Kirche: “So the talk of the school is that one of Louise’s summons was a noble. More than that, a prince.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPELGaAyhw
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRw4gEp8DP
Zander chuckled before answering.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UIaJeVRep
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnamTTfC2m2
Zander: “A prince? Perhaps. I don’t have an official title like that since I’m not affiliated with any one specific Haven. But my colleagues all insist that I have a formal position in each of their Havens.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3965HWMzsf
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlgxwQdmuE
Zander frowned before continuing.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuCcorcLnZ
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFuqSRcONg
Zander: “I guess I’m more of a king consort than a prince. Even if we’re not married.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtz30ALDEL
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrSoNihByR
Kirche: “Colleagues? You mean the female summons?”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujgQ5XONxf
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mxaqDRdpP
Zander: “Oh no, I mean the priestesses of my home.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQeyOdTf4R
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3FwdlrZ1d
Kirche: “Priestesses?”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSxgp8qP0F
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYci6kVbI85
Zander: “Well, they’re more or less like queens.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFE8Ni91t6
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5dn9Lsrv6
Kirche eyes bulged with lust, imagining a future where she is one of these queens.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5X5AyoN35M
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocDlunyaTk
Kirche: “Queens you say. I would love to know more, how about over dessert? Are you hungry?”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeM9vMdtRu9
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2PnTCh10W
Zander: “…A little.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ROrBj6804
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdbpu2joWJ
Kirche: “Great, follow me to the outside dining area. Dessert should be arriving shortly. Tabitha, come.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0mPF5U7Vn
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKtMjr3S73
As the trio walked to their seats, Kirche started with her questions.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSTsMt3Vqy
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuW6I1xmOt
Kirche: “Your Majesty, If I may be so bold-”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxE5t32qbRc
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgNrJJX8PF
Zander: “Zander is fine.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TBrkKKaYf
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgnIzEkvPi
Kirche: “Then, Zander, if I may be so bold, how many queens do you have?”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeLlDGCiec
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5RpcfZwj2
Zander: “If you’re asking what I think you’re asking, then none. We’re not in that kind of relationship.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTlEpYbIOv
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rVvh1JW1V
Kirche: “Then how does one find himself the king consort of several queens?”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbOgK5MpfM
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWwfYBT7Uc
Zander: “From where I’m from, few men can perform magic.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJqN4gZouR
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5QqdKRciD
The trio made it to an open table and sat down. Flame stayed near Kirche while Slyphid lay near Tabitha. Zander took a moment to collect himself before continuing the story.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubSnuaHeig
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNx9u9qvTbn
Zander: “Well, nowadays I’m the only man who can. Men who can use magic are called magisters. Few magisters have ever existed, but all of them have been known to have done great things.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4oJaZoMaA
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEFcwxZYVA
Kirche: “Such as?”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEmIYIL82g
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEyEpbbnAe
Zander: Magister Adom was a hero who single-handedly drove the demon armies back into the north. Magister Berth constructed the Great Barrier that spans the entirety of the north, keeping the demons from ever returning. Magister Calin built the Havens.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGO3XxvxEKE
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaN4gM2Vqo
Kirche: “And what did you do?”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnkA6oF9y6
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30ODg8SuZs
Zander smiled bitterly, recalling old memories through glazed eyes.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0bifqGQJq
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzXVIfPaDC
Zander: “I suppose I united the Havens after a civil war. Restored the honor of the Magistrum after the Magisters were exiled about 900 years ago. Defeated the demon armies from the south and…”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tjZYBWpkp
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xmqhx4nth
Zander sighed before ending his list of accomplishments.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8hZoUimqa
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6SomYSkGL
Zander: “I founded immortality.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbLvvFRflE
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2JlzaWzHv
Kirche’s mouth hit the table while Tabitha dropped her book. All was silent for a good minute before Kirche could pick up the pieces of her mental state.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vfl5W5FT3
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzPwysHxnK
Kirche: “W-What do you just say?”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRhR8U7GMa
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8tiOKLS2b
Zander: “I was busy and I’m not eager to meet the Gods.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXhuD52LZZ
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9RXll2oDu
Kirche: “But immortality?”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wz34Xk2HG
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6V1ZawVyl6
Zander: “I’m 756 years old.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSKxDRqOYW
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhqwhxbJFx
Tabitha: “Old.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhJrtrmKpJ
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEP8t6oiaq
Zander: “There were circumstances. After we dealt with all of our problems, my colleagues and I realized that dying could risk everything we worked so hard for. So I found immortality. We’re now Othland’s immortal rulers.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfbhoyuBQZ
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjrgy2BD2p
Zander: “It’s also why the Gods are displeased with me. Turning the priestesses into immortals ruined the Gods’ traditional ceremonies. The priestesses are supposed to be sacrifices, you see.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvYycSGdqq
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wPv19FxYL
Kirche: “Sacrificing the queens?”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXh6hbYwM5W
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrK2efOg4cX
Zanders: “It’s a religious thing. Sacrificing the priestess lets her become an avatar of her God after death. Pretty stupid if you ask me. I don’t regret stopping it one bit.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLa6z7wqdx
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8lOrIKowO
Kirche: “How romantic. Facing Gods to spend eternity with your beloved.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIu9E1hJsz1

Zander: “I look after my-”

“Would anyone like some pie!?”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡan29Ugf7eq
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fjcG7z30b
The trio were surprised by the voices of the maids nearby. Turning they saw a trio of maids.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPESkRqEds
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYM7ASvawP
One a common sight around the academy, black-haired and sweet, Siesta.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Md5DCv8h5
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnApQBA0Xl
One a recent sight around the academy, red-haired and Louise’s familiar, Flamma.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxiM5iMj3Q
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWiSkQcx6m
Between those 2 was a completely new face, one that was gunning for the table where Zander and Kirche were.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEwMIMZrwv
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJCisJjp0U
Dove: “Would any of you like some Cherry Pie? I made it myself.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncD8a3J48S
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuqVy8ePoU
Her voice was nice, some nearby boys wanted to hear it sing. In all the right ways. She ignored them until her business at this table was done.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmaM7uUkQK
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKA1vP47s8
Tabitha: “Please.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmZICsCgi1

Dove: “I’m sorry, what do you mean?”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFO4C42Af4J

Tabitha: “Pie.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50Ww5ALmRJ

Dove: “Oh, sorry I didn’t understand you.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiPHNNMdB7
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6B5nkoOBlc
Tabitha took the offered pie and started eating. IT WAS DELICIOUS! Tabitha quickly finished it, immediately asking for seconds.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwWUjkVqdY
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2ZqFAQ8y5
Dove was surprised and then laughed at Tabitha’s stone face with a smudge or two of cherry smeared on the corners of her lips. Tabitha reached for more.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoO4mYlnFkK

Tech was done with his repairs. The process did shock some nurses. He did have to remove and reattach his replacement arms and legs after all. Using nanobots to turn his hands into the tools he need didn’t help. They thought he was another Ravager in disguise or something.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORtrjm3t6l
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLw4sC4CIj
This and more clued Tech in that this world was primitive. Only recently getting a taste of higher technology. Regardless, Tech was stuck here for now and so needed to eat and test out his repairs.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrOYdeAKEh
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25z7XHCo5G
He found his way to the kitchen and was greeted by a good number of the staff. They were much better than the stuck-up brats he met along the way. Calling him a commoner and such.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGz9q3HACgh
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyguxqtb14n
Tech then politely asked the Chef for permission to use a part of his kitchen to make his own food. His body still couldn’t eat some things until he made some new upgrades.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWWKM9PYIu
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0IN5bOMv5
The Chef Martone didn’t seem to mind to much as long as he didn’t take too long. Tech’s bonny body led credence to his claim that he needed to follow a certain diet for his body’s weak stomach.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzsOlGhPVX
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJrwMYCVm5
Tech enjoyed the meal he created, he even befriended one of the maids named Siesta. The whole encounter gave him enough energy to further test his legs and arms. He exited the kitchen a bit earlier than the maid trio.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaFTn4DXC2
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE90THbV8DJ
Being outside also gave him a chance too observe how the “Noble” class worked. What he got was nothing but slight disgust. Aside from one glowing exception, they all held themselves very high and mighty-like. Something he didn’t like, even in himself.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmZT9q8Nvo
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZawXNC6tZ
This observation and testing went on until a ruckus dragged everyone’s attention. A very loud ruckus that involved a playboy and Siesta.

Flamma kept an eye on Dove and Zander while she did her normal duties. She couldn’t quite catch the conversation but she’ll be sure to get the full details from Dove later.

Usually, she wouldn’t participate in idle gossip but it helped her ignore the other noise. The flamboyant demands, lecherous stares, and envious gazes. Even with Dove around, she still drew the most attention.

Flamma: ‘The woes of being the most beautiful woman in the room.’

So as to not be caught looking too long, Flamma turned her attention to the other maid. She apparently was trying her hardest to get the attention of a blonde noble kid. He was probably talking sweet nothings to a brunette girl given her love-struck expression.

The blonde guy was pointedly ignoring her, but some of his peers around him would recognize the perfume Siesta was trying to give him.

“Hey Guiche, isn’t that Montmorency’s perfume?”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRpCbFeWdS

“Now that I look at it, yeah, isn’t that what she uses every time she walks into class?”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPBHC8MRhB
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jN1jCsc61
This would earn the blond student Guiche a suspicious look from the brunette girl. Flamma noticed the blonde girl with her hair curled to the sides storms up to Guiche’s table.

Montmorency: “Guiche, who is this?”

288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAElowRBe9A
Everyone, even Dove and Zander was looking at this sad display. As for Flamma, she could only close her eyes in sympathy for Guiche’s failure. Emphasized by two loud echoing slaps.

Flamma, Zander and Dove snapped out of their thoughts. They saw Guiche seething red in anger as he pointed accusingly at Siesta.

Flamma and Dove stormed over to aid their fellow maid but someone else actually got there first. A sickly young boy was standing between Siesta and Guiche. The same one that cooked his own meal in the kitchen.

Before Tech can give a witty comeback, Flamma and Dove come to stand beside him.

Everyone was stunned by the turn of events. 2 of Louise’s familiars were protecting one of the maids. But few had hope for their struggle. After all, those 2 were only commoners. Even with an extra maid’s help, it didn’t matter.

There was silence for a time. Guiche smirked while Siesta’s eyes widened in fear and worry for her new friends. But the three didn’t seem scared, in fact…

Siesta goes to help him but Guiche made another gambit to save his image.

Guiche finally turned around and faced the man towering over him.

288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8fjIn6EP9
Zander: “Yes. Now, I wouldn’t want to get in the way of Dove and Flamma beating you senseless. You do deserve it. But you will not prevent the boy from sitting down and you will not fire the maids. That’s not within your power.”

Now that Tech is in a better position, he regained the floor with his next words.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7FDtshGO7
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xH8LAsVSf
Tech: “Guiche, you claim to be a noble, but all I see is a coward whose pride clouds his eyes and whose fear makes him seek the weak. If someone weaker than you gets in your way, you have no problem harming them. But when they’re stronger than you, you back away. As proven by how you practically shrunk in front of the prince. You say you’re a rose, but all I see is a vile weed.”
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBLF0XmxkV
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9tvTRDDl7
Before the impact of his words could fully register, Tech glared at Guiche with his enraged neon green eyes. It almost glowed with fury, so much so it actually forced Guiche to take a step back.
